The estimatit population o this area in 2007 wis 1,750,500.[8] The city region is no a conurbation as significant pairts o the cooncil area (an the whole o Inverclyde) are separatit frae Greater Glesga bi open kintraside. It uises numerous ither terms fir itsel, includin Metropolitan Glesga,[13] the metropolitan City-Region o Glesga"[15] an Glesga an the Clyde Valley.
